Kat recites an original poem written by the screenwriters and inspired by Shakespeare's Sonnet 141.

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car,

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes my rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right, I hate it when you lie,

I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around and the fact that you didn't call

but mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Sonnet 141

In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,

For they in thee a thousand errors note;

But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,

Who in despite of view is pleased to dote;

Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted,

Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone,

Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited

To any sensual feast* with thee alone*:

But my five wits* nor my five senses can

Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,

Who leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man*,

Thy proud hearts slave and vassal wretch to be:

Only my plague thus far I count my gain,

That she that makes me sin awards me pain.
